Watched Oppenheimer today. It's a fantastic film. Christopher Nolan is a fucking genius. The way the movie is structured, the quality of scenes, the general feel, everything is so refreshing. It was a revelation when most of the movies releasing are woke shit.

But still barbie gets more popular than Oppenheimer? What? I watched trailers and reviews of barbie and from what I know, it's a woke shit that tells matriarchy is better than patriarchy, with a bit of comedy admittedly. I mean yes they can have their freedom of speech, but how does a film like that shadows a fucking artwork like Oppenheimer? What am I missing?

Barbie draws in families with children, who tend to make up a large percentage of movie-goers. Those families won't be going to see Oppenheimer. They're also inherently larger groups than, say, a couple with no kids. Meanwhile, people who go to see Oppenheimer might also go to see Barbie. I guess I'm just saying that Barbie has a larger potential pool of viewers.
